Biology sure is a funny thing. And not so ha-ha funny. As if just being XX or XY isn't hard enough.
Got to check out now. Pillow calling me. (In muffled tones.)
Stay positive. I'm positive you can do it.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Driving home tonight, we heard Schubert's Piano Trio in B♭ - I think that's what the DJ said.
Silly piece of music. Good for accompanying an old silent comedy, or maybe a Bugs Bunny cartoon. One of those things that you keep thinking is about to end, but then it goes one more time 'round.
I don't think it was meant to be so amusing in that way.
Looks like there's a couple of versions on YouTube. If you want to torture yourself. Try the Yehudi Menuhin. Tip your waitress.
Okay, I'm pretty sure that's really a Maetenloch Overnight Thread. AI isn't that good yet.
Multi-part combined comment!!! (If I divvied them up, I'd be risking getting into the commenter standings list again!)
☞ Being punctual is a White thing, versus what Hillary was talking about, CPT, right? Also, shoes tight versus loose, and, uhhhh, that other thing.
☞ I wake up facing the sun every morning, too. It really does help me crawl out of bed and face the day.
☞ Besides everything else, for today's college yutes, chalk is a choking hazard!
☞ Why Do Democrats Hate Their Own Presidents? Without clicking through, I'm going to guess, because they hate everything and everyone, especially themselves.
☞ Caitlyn Jenner Status - So, is this the new "Abe Vigoda is still alive" thing? And still an annoying narcissist - caused a fatal car accident because he was playing with his own boobs; how into oneself is that!
☞ THE MOST Important Story of The Day Ah, yesss, speaking of boobs!
☞ Wait, what? I'm #7 on the sockpuppets list? I think you might've missed a few. Uh... I mean, no way! I'm calling for a recount.
☟ We now return you to your regularly scheduled chatter...
Well... it looks like an Overnight Thread. Can't be sure 'til I read it, though. Might be a virus. Hackers get in everywhere nowadays, y'know.
no good deed #121: ...He just found the Animorph series...
Milady and I enjoyed reading those along with our kids when they first came out.
Forewarning: the last one - my kids still are upset about it, all these years later. Seemed like the author got tired of writing the series and of the characters. Make up your own ending. It'd be better.
There was a pretty good Animorphs TV series that didn't last very long.
IrishEi #51: Got my kids The American Boy's Handy Book.
We got copies of that for our twin sons, and had them re-bound with the front title "Woodchuck Guides" as they (we all) were fans of the Carl Barks and Don Rosa $crooge McDuck comics.
One story had Huey, Dewey, and Louie trying to trace out what happened to books salvaged before the burning of the library of Alexandria. Guess what it eventually became?
I watched the opening of the Simpson trial on TV...
Not a big fan of OJ in football or film, but I was intrigued by the slow-mo Bronco chase - seemed psycho but in what way I couldn't imagine - and so, I ended up watching the entire prosecution part of the trial.
I videotaped each day off CourtTV, and FF'd through the wasted time. Also tracked some intriguing "insider" posts each day on CompuServe's Law Forum. Big chunk of my life consumed, and I think I drove Milady a little nuts with it, and really I did neglect some other things to which I should have been tending, but it was such a mad circus!
By the time the prosecution was done, I was satisfied that they'd totally blown the case. I don't think the jury made a bad decision; I couldn't swear, based just on the trial, whether OJ had done it. I didn't bother watching the defense part, because I figured it was already over. And the verdict was no surprise.
Sure have taken a lot of flak over the years for my observation that the prosecution didn't do their job - as if I was saying OJ was innocent. Especially got criticized by a twice-divorced relative who more or less sympathized with OJ-the-murderer. That was a little scary.
Well, done reading and commenting about the post. Now to plow into the comments.
...The Income Tax: Root of All Evil...
I hope I'm not going to be provoking political battles in the book thread, but, relatedly: Ted Cruz is AFAIK the only true opponent of the IRS. I know some folks think that, even if elected with a yuge mandate, Cruz couldn't follow up on this promise, others may think he's just posturing, but he is saying the right things, fwiw. Flat tax is not exactly getting rid of the Income Tax, but, something.
I'll stop there rather than quoting him and just link to yesterday's Michelle Moons article at Breitbart for those interested:
Except if you feel like you're going to shart.
Although it has had some amusing repercussions, I don't think this latest meme inspired by Dear Leader will get the lifetime mileage some of his other work has had, like the classic Kaboom.
Of course, if we can cross the Kaboom and shart memes... ugh, never mind, sorry I thought of it, much less mentioned it.
G'morn, readers.
I finally made it to the book thread.
Would have been here sooner, but in the morning thread, creeper linked to the website Today I Found Out, and I got lost wandering in their woods.
Now, to read the post and comments and thereby become (more) enlightened...
cthulhu: It appears that Boy, an "old fucko", got whacked.
Yeah, that was unexpected.
And yet, 25 references remain among troll-quoters. When will we learn?
One day, all references to Obama will be either "SCoaMF" or "Impeach."
This concludes our narrowcasting day. *National Anthem with Air Force display and flags waving*

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Jim: I might capture a bit of Wi-Fi in the wild, so to speak, here n' there along the way.
Thinking of this, and the gramma who was caught out in the wilds of whatwasit, Utah? the other day, wandering from her vehicle to ridgetops in search of cell signal...
Hasn't Google (B Evil) covered the world with cell coverage yet?
Daughter's friend's husband is an oil rig worker, and often out of touch. Just hard to fathom in these days, when folks in remote Indian villages have net.
The world is still bigger than I think it be, I'm sure. (Looks at vastness of oceans.)
Gonna apply some Previ-Dent now, and prep for bed.
cthulhu: 25 ER20 collets, a 2MT holder, a straight holder, and a wrench...
Dang. I will never learn eldergodian. It's just not related to my proto-indo-european languages set.
"Wrench" ... I understood "wrench." But it probably doesn't mean what I think it means.
CaliGirl: Well, I'm off like a prom dress...
Obligatory: Pics, or...
G'night, CaliGirl.
Noticed that the comment numbers moved backward, like, what, some 50 or 60 comments? Maybe not that much. But somebody got clobbered, I think.
Or maybe I was just wharrgarblr - a possibility.
Most nights, this is where I'd check out. But instead, I poured myself a second helping. So, thought I'd hangg round a littl longre butt if I become les coherrrentnt thennn hop undstandr bllbb gibblegabbleⁿⁱ☄
Funniest, most inexplicable newsfeed item of the day:

Stringer Davis: ...It's held up well....
Ah, well, I had wondered if it was original with you, what with you bein' such a creative commenter and all, but I wasn't going to ask, 'cause, it was all in the delivery, anyway.
